Our environmental sustainability
Korn Ferry is committed to environmental sustainability. We seek to maximize value for clients and investors while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Our environmental sustainability commitment focuses on three areas:
- Enhancing the measurement and disclosure of greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions.
- Reducing GHG emissions.
- Engaging with our colleagues, clients, investors, and other stakeholders to share and collaborate on initiatives and contribute to a culture of environmental sustainability both internally and externally.
Our people and community
It is a priority for us to hire, develop, and advance diverse and underrepresented talent across the firm. Through our approach to talent acquisition, development, recognition, engagement, and benefits, we aim to foster a culture of inclusion. We are committed to making a difference in our communities and the world, too. Because it’s not just about our people, it’s about all people. Our local offices and colleagues worldwide take part in community service through a variety of organizations and programs, including the Korn Ferry Charitable Foundation.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Inclusion is intentionally the first of our core values. Our colleagues bring together diverse backgrounds, cultures, experiences, ethnicities, genders, orientations and religious beliefs. We value this diversity and believe that it makes us stronger, smarter, and more agile and innovative. Our worldwide workforce and Board gives us multiple perspectives on the world and informs the ways we connect with our people, our clients, and the communities we touch.
Our Inclusive Supplier Program
Our Inclusive Supplier Program aims to promote and increase the inclusion of underrepresented vendors and contractors within our supply chain and the marketplace. We believe that engaging with diverse and small suppliers will allow us to drive more innovation and value for Korn Ferry and our clients.
Our business practices
Our values of inclusion, honesty, knowledge, and performance are the fundamental beliefs of our global organization. These values inspire our people and are intended to guide them to do the right thing. We strive to be a leader in corporate governance; report results with accuracy and transparency; conduct ourselves in a legal, ethical, and trustworthy manner; comply with both the letter and spirit of our business policies and the law; and protect the information provided to us.
Who we are and our values
At Korn Ferry, our responsibility as a global corporation is central to our vision. Our commitment to act ethically begins with each of us and is embedded in our core values, which are designed to guide the way we work together with others. We believe connecting genuinely with others can only be done by removing the “professional” façade.
